| Additional information |
Tarentum's nomos coinage was already in decline by this period — the city had surrendered to Rome in 272 BC after a disastrous decade that included inviting Pyrrhus of Epirus to fight on their behalf, a gamble that ended with his withdrawal and the loss of what remained of Tarentine independence. These late issues were struck under Roman supervision, the magistrate names now serving an administrative function for an effectively subject city rather than a self-governing one.
Vlasto 884–887 represents a tight die cluster, suggesting concentrated production rather than an extended series.
